((Oof, I forgot to put that out of quotes, oh welp))
"I'm not any of those things," she said with a grumble, sticking her tongue out at Liese, "Have fun, don't forget tomorrow I have work, but I'll be home early enough to make dinner, so don't even start cooking, okay?"
"Alright, alright. See you after work." Liese waved goodbye and headed out the door to go to work for the day. She sighed softly once she arrived, pulling on her apron and settling herself behind the counter.
((Oki doks, should we timsekip? Or do you have something in mind?))
(We can time skip if you want! You could come visit her at work if you want, or we could skip to when she gets home or something)
((Cool, or I might have an idea))
When Elke was sure Liese was far enough from the apartment, she rushed over to the refrigerator and began to go through it. So, now might be a good time to mention that Elke has a bit of a sugar addiction, and when I say she has a bit of one, I mean to say that she has a major one. And Liese normally keeps her in check, at least when she's around, so now that Elke was sure the other girl was gone, see grabbed anything remotely sweet from the fridge -whipped creme, caramel, chocolate sauce, sprinkles- and then dumped them on the rest of her pancakes. "Much better." She said with a happy smile, but once she finished the rest of her food, she realized that she had made a stupid mistake, and she was starting to feel sick. She fumbled for her phone, trying to call Liese.
Liese went into the back when her phone started ringing. She picked it up and held it up to her ear with a soft sigh. "Hey, Elke… what stupid shit did you pull this time?" She asked. "I just got to work, what could you possibly have done already?"
"I uhm." She tried to hold back a groan, "Sugar and milk and crap." She started to head over to the bathroom, "I uhm, you really are bad at hiding the sweets, you know that right?" She wasn't feeling the greatest at all at the moment, but was still trying to crack a joke or two, "I just feel sick, can you call Ashton and tell him to come over?" She then well (you know) and coughed a little bit. "P-please?"
Liese sighed softly and ran her fingers through her hair. "Why didn't you just call Ashton if you wanted him to come over, then? You know I'm busy right now and it would've saved time anyway. You having no self control shouldn't be my responsibility, Elke. You're an adult. You can handle it. Take some Tums or something."
((lol, I already love the fact that Liese is just momming Elke))
"I don't know, you know I don't think straight when I-" She realized that she had gotten a text from Ashton and smiled a little hanging up on Liese, Well, she does need to get back to work, and she did tell me to call him. So she did so, and about twety minutes later he was there with a giant thing of Tums and chicken soup for some reason.
(Lol)
Liese groaned softly when Elke hung up on her and shoved her phone in her pocket so she could return to work. She walked back to the counter and continued making coffee for basic white girls and very tired, frustrated mothers.
((Okay, I guess we could timeskip now?))
When Elke heard Liese coming back into the apartment, she and Ashton were on the couch in the living room finally finishing up the game Elke had been trying to finish the night before. They had just completed the level and were cheering and pretty much going nuts about it, but when they noticed that Liese was in the room they calmed down. Ashton grabbed his stuff saying bye to the two girls, and Elke patted aa seat on the couch,, "Sit down, tell me all about your day."
(Yep yep)
Liese sighed softly and flopped down on the couch when she was told to. "Shitty, like usual. Lots of Karens and white girls and other overly particular people… and then you calling me because you were a dumbass and ate too much sugar again."
Elke giggled a little bit, rolling her eyes, "Poor baby. Do you want a hug or something? Or for me to make you dinner?" She said as she scooted over to ther other girl, "And you know how I am when I get tired, so overeating sweets or not eating at all is a given." She wrapped her arms around the other girls shoulders, "Anywhoooooooo, so as I just said, I'm making dinner, so what would you like?"
"Make whatever you want, I don't give a shit…" Liese rested her head on Elke's shoulder and sighed heavily. "Maybe something warm? I'm probably gonna head to bed early tonight if you promise not to do anything too stupid…"
"Well uhm, I'll try not to do anything too stupid, but I might do something a little stupid? But I'll make sure that you won't have to get involved, okay?" She said as she stood up walking over to the linen closet, "I thought you might like some blankets, so, here you go." She placed them next to Liese before walking into the kitchen, significantly calmer at the moment. "Well we have some left overs from the Chinsese restaurant we went to the other day, or I could make some ramen or something."
"Okay, thanks…" Liese curled up on the couch under a few blankets and sighed, seeming drained from work. "You have fun making that, darling, I'm just gonna take a nap… wake me up when you're done with it, alright?" She yawned a bit and soon drifted off into a light sleep.
Darling? But Elke just shrugged that off and grabbed some of the cups of ramen they kept stored in the cabinets for days like this. The soups were soon done, but Elke didn't really have the heart to wake Liese up, the other girl looked so calm and peaceful lying on the couch, so she placed the other woman's soup in the microwave and just waited for her to wake up, eating her soup as she scrolled through her phone.
Liese stirred about an hour later and yawned, looking around tiredly. "Elke…?" She called out, her voice heavy with sleep. "What time is it? Why didn't you wake me? God, m'starving…" She sat up and ran her fingers through her hair.
Elke had gone into her room and was lying on her bed, "It's 4:15, and you looked so peaceful and happy, why would I want to do something as cruel as to wake you up?" She said with a groan, getting up off her bed and walking into the kitchen. "Let me just reheat your food okay?" After a minute or two Elke walked into the living room with the bowl of steaming hot soup, "Just try not to fall asleep again okay? I'd like to be able to hang out with you for a few minutes."
"Okay…" Liese sighed and started eating her soup, still all bundled up in blankets. "What did you do here without me?" She asked. "I mean, I know you had Ashton with you, but he can kinda be a dumbass too, you know?"
Elke nodded smiling a little bit, "We just hung out and talked, and of course we finished the game, but that was it. Why?"
"Because you're a dumbass and I don't want you getting yourself killed while I'm busy at work." Liese sighed. "Because believe it or not, I care about your wellbeing and I can't always be around to make sure you're not dead."
"Wow, thanks for having confidence in my ability to survive without you. I wonder how I did it when I lived all by myself." She grumbled a little bit under her breath, "But thanks for caring, I guess. It's better than you not caring." She said with a shrug, "But still, you know that I can you know live without you, wait no that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean."
"You are an adult, and yet you ate so many sweets that you got sick and had to call me while I was at work to tell me even though you were already planning on inviting Ashton over." Liese sighed. "Not exactly the most adult thing, Elke…"
Elke groaned, rolling her eyes. She knew that Liese was right, but she really didn't want to admit it. "You know what, I don't care, at least everything is okay now? Right? My stomach stopped hurting, and you got home from work safely, and you got to take a nap and eat ramen. So, all in all it sounds like a good day to me."
